Creative Easel Treats

The 'What's New, Cupcake?" Dish is Artistically-minded and Sweet

The 'All You' blog's 'What's New, Cupcake?' post takes pointers from the book as it was written by authors Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. The easel-bound platter is an excellent teaching tool for younger crowds, merging interests in painting, cooking and color wheels altogether.

Tack and Richardson produced this faux paint brush with Fruit by the Foot, a Tootsie Roll and a bread stick. The tool appears quite life-like, expanding the imaginations and creative capacities of children.

In the entry, What's New, Cupcake? asks its readers, "What's your favorite canvas? Cupcakes, of course!" While foodies may not have assumed as much prior to picking up the instructive guide, this crafty dish proves to be entertaining, engaging and delicious.
